Chapter 343 [Continued] Reader
Cui Yunhao was stunned for a moment before handing over the repaired part to him. Bachelor Zhan asked nervously, "Are you sure these are all repaired?"

Cui Yunhao nodded, and said, "It's just that it hasn't been bound into a book yet."

Bachelor Zhan can't control so much anymore. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to the matter of compiling the history of the country, but he will have a job until the end of the year. He never expected that the emperor would suddenly come to the Imperial Academy today and ask about this matter. He couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Holding the repaired part of the national history, Bachelor Zhan didn't have time to say hello to Cui Yunhao, so he walked to the back hall sullenly. Seeing that He Yinguang was still waiting at the door, he hurriedly offered it with both hands, and said, "Old Man Ge, they are all here." gone."

As he said that, Bachelor Zhan was still a little embarrassed, because what he was holding was only about thirty pages, almost half a history book, and it looked really shabby.

But now Emperor Yongtai was already sitting inside, it was useless to say anything, He Yinguang took the stack of papers and entered the room, Emperor Yongtai was talking to the prince, He Yinguang waited for them both to stop, Then he bowed and said, "I'm guilty of keeping the emperor waiting for a long time."

Emperor Yongtai waved his hand: "No problem."

His gaze fell on He Yinguang's hand, and he said, "This is the history of the country that has been repaired?"

He Yinguang replied respectfully: "It is exactly what the emperor said."

When the prince saw it, he wondered, "Why are there so many?"

He Yinguang remained expressionless, and replied: "It's all because the emperor attaches great importance to it. Bachelor Zhan and others did not dare to act hastily. They changed it after considering word by word. I don't want the emperor to come here today, and it will not be bound into a book in the future."

Hearing this, Emperor Yongtai didn't care too much, and said, "I'll take a look."

He Yinguang immediately presented it with both hands: "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

The crown prince took over the pile of repaired national history and handed it to Emperor Yongtai: "Father, please."

Emperor Yongtai picked it up, and began to flip through it slowly. For a while, the whole room was extremely quiet, only the rustling sound of the pages could be heard.

He Yinguang stood below, watching his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, with a respectful look, his eyes were lowered, so that no one could see what he was thinking. After reading it, Emperor Yongtai called him: " Elder He Ge."

Only then did He Yinguang make a movement immediately: "The minister is here."

Emperor Yongtai asked slowly while turning the pages: "Who compiled the history of this country?"

He Yinguang replied respectfully: "Bachelor Zhan brought together several editors and editors from the Imperial Academy to edit it."

Emperor Yongtai hummed: "It's Zhan Shengao?"

He Yinguang replied: "Yes, there are Cui Xiuzhuan, Su Bianxiu and others."

Emperor Yongtai raised his head and said, "Cui Xiuzhuan?"

He Yinguang immediately explained: "It's this year's champion Cui Yunhao."

Prince Duan Geng reminded from the side: "It is the one who was called the child prodigy by the emperor. Last year he was Jieyuan, and this year he will try Yayuan again."

Only then did Emperor Yongtai remember, and said with great interest: "It turned out to be him, did he come to the Imperial Academy today?"

He Yinguang replied: "Cui Xiuzhuan is here."

Emperor Yongtai said: "I want to see him."

"Yes," He Yinguang responded immediately: "I'm going to summon him to face the saint."

In the National History Museum, Cui Yunhao was copying books, and Bachelor Zhan hurried over and said in a low voice, "Don't rush if you have anything to do, the emperor wants to summon you, come with me."

Hearing this, Cui Yunhao immediately put down his brush, got up and followed Xueshi Zhan to the back hall. As Xueshi Zhan walked quickly, he lowered his voice and said: "When you meet the emperor, you must be respectful and careful. Say it, don’t talk nonsense.”

"Yes."

The two were talking, and seeing that the back hall was in front, Cui Yunhao straightened his robes and stepped into the door under the leadership of Bachelor Zhan.

At a glance, he saw Emperor Yongtai sitting at the head, he didn't look much, his eyes were lowered slightly, a bright yellow dragon robe flashed in front of his eyes, and Cui Yunhao had already bowed down with Bachelor Zhan.

"My ministers Zhan Shengao and Cui Yunhao, please refer to the emperor."

"Well," Emperor Yongtai waved his hand: "Get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two stood up together, and Emperor Yongtai smiled and said: "You guys compiled these national histories?"

Scholar Zhan was a little apprehensive, and replied: "The words to the emperor were cultivated by the humble ministers together."

He thought that there was something wrong with those national histories that he had completed, but when he quietly glanced at He Yinguang next to him out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there was nothing strange about him, and his heart couldn't help but get up and down, and he said bravely: "I don't know... What's wrong?"

Emperor Yongtai smiled immediately, and said: "No problem, I see these, although there are not many, but they are all well-cultivated, and you have indeed done things with sincerity, and I want to reward you!"

Hearing these words, Bachelor Zhan immediately let out a sigh of relief, and the sweat on his forehead gradually dissipated. He didn't ask for rewards, but only for no faults.

Now it seems that the emperor is very satisfied with this pile of national history, which is great.

Bachelor Zhan cast an approving look at Cui Yunhao, and saw Cui Yunhao standing there, neither humble nor overbearing, neither flattered nor panicked, very calm.

Emperor Yongtai looked at Cui Yunhao again, and asked kindly: "Which part did you repair?"

Cui Yunhao replied respectfully: "The words returned to the emperor, from the fifth page to the 28th page, are all revised by the minister."

Emperor Yongtai raised his eyebrows, flipped through the history of the country in his hand, and immediately understood it, and said with a smile: "Why do you rely on you alone to cultivate?"

Hearing this, Bachelor Zhan raised his heart again, but he heard Cui Yunhao reply unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, I just made a rough revision for the first time, and there will be Master Zhan and all the senior scholars behind." , and even the head of the courtyard inspected it with his own eyes and passed layers of checkpoints before the revision can be truly completed. The size and detail of the work, a huge national history handed down throughout the ages, is definitely not something that a single minister can do."

Emperor Yongtai laughed loudly, and said: "It's a good one that will be passed down forever, well said!"

He turned to He Yinguang and said: "Clearly organized, well-organized, and not arrogant about taking credit for it, Mr. He Ge, you have taken in a good student!"

He Yinguang hurriedly bowed and said: "My ministers are terrified. The entire Imperial Academy is full of disciples of the emperor, and they are officials of my Great Zhou Dynasty. This is the blessing of the emperor and the blessing of the country."

"Good, good!" Emperor Yongtai was very happy, and said again and again: "If you do a good job, you will naturally be rewarded!"

He turned to Cui Yunhao again, and asked: "Cui Yunhao, I remember that I rewarded you with a house last time, what reward do you want today, even if you say it, I will agree."

Cui Yunhao paused for a moment, and said: "I am afraid, this is a matter of the minister's duty. It is a matter of eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king. I dare not claim credit and ask for rewards."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongtai became more and more happy, and said with a smile: "This is what I promised, why not dare?"

He said, pondered for a moment, and asked the crown prince: "I remember that the Imperial College is short of two attendants?"

The prince quickly replied: "Father, there is indeed a vacancy, and the two attendants have been transferred to Youchunfang."

Emperor Yongtai said: "Okay, after the revision of the national history is completed, let Cui Yunhao go to the Imperial Academy to take office."
